That is...so much talking. Ellie stares for a long time, before she reaches up to press her hand over his mouth. She's almost worried he might interrupt her if she tries answering him, not that she knows where to start with all that.
"They've always been there for me. Since before I was born. There was this virus, a brain infection. It's called cordyceps. It makes people die pretty fast." Her mind goes to Riley and she gulps, swallowing roughly.
"You have to get them in the head with something like a bullet or a knife, or they're gonna come back and tear you apart. They're not aware at all. They're fucking monsters, alright?"
She's up in arms because she feels like he's treating the hell that's been her entire life and the horrors she's been through as a sideshow. Like it's a fascinating story to stand around and talk about for fun. It makes her a little uncomfortable with the fact that she doesn't have long sleeves on, and her own bite mark scar is visible. Her hand presses over the area on her forearm and she frowns.
